Jeffchiz's Golf *R-tech stage1 244bhp 325ft/lbs* *Cambelt change*
Jeffchiz:
My car is booked it at longlife tomorrow to get a back box delete, i went it last saturday and i picked a twin 2.5" outward rolled tail pipe, soon after leaving the shop i realised i had made a mistake sent them an email and rang them and they are going to have a selection of designs waiting for me to choose from when i go in, but they dont have any 3" pipes available so i think im going for a twin 3.5" inward rolled with a black slash (to replicate the oem look)
original pipes i chose
what i think ill go for
pic of a miltek should look very similar but slightly larger
did a video of my oem exhaust will upload a new one tomorrow for a comparison
Jeffchiz:
Had my back box delete done yesterday, very happy with it, unfortunately they didnt have a twin 3" inward rolled, only a slash cut or a 3.5" inward rolled, we tried the 3.5" rolled but it didnt fit in the recess properly so i went for the slash cut, but now its on im very happy with it :D ill get a video later on, excuse the dirty car
Alzak:
Hi
Can you let me know how much did this exhaust set you back?

I'd like to know this aswell.
Also, is this a specialit thing long life donor will most exhaust places do it?
What's the difference like in the tone and volume?
Cheers
Jeffchiz:
i paid £150 for it, the tailpipe on its own is £60 then the extra pipe work and the 2-3 hours labour it took them, was more than i expected but they stuck to their quote but its not something they do everyday so was hard to quote for
and no its not just longlife that do it, any custom exhaust garage can chop your back box off and weld on some pipe on but ive my mates have had longlife exhausts before and i was happy with the bends and welds on their exhausts so i went to them over a place like powerflow which can get very mixed results lol
the noise is a little louder on idle, gets quite loud as you pull off but strangely gets to not much louder over standard higher in the revs and is pretty quiet at cruising speeds which is good, it does have a nice burble though
